@pcampbell87, theres no need to be annoyed, you can do it and you did do it!!!

Im not going to be around tonight (I have a date lol), but Im looking forward to testing it. It the kids holidays here all next week, but it would be good to get it in for the start of their new term._________________Puppy Linux's Mission

i have only gsreamer error
no svg and others
also i can change skin to gartoon
both in NOP and puppy 4.1.2
had no time to install gstreamer yet but wil try
works nice on eee pc with -f option( fullscrreen)_________________skype: desafimager

I haven't seen anything posted yet so I went ahead and reworked the .svg images as I suggested above. Everything seems to work in puppy412, except the sound. I played half a dozen of the games, even won a couple. Heres my reworked file:
gcompris_svg_cheat_412.sfs

Hope this helps, J

P.S. I have been using load_sfs to run this but unload_sfs won't unload it. Also when I reboot my wallpaper is gone and most of my jwm menu. If I restart X from the menu it all comes back.

Thanks for that link Lobster, I wasnt aware of exactly how much educational software is out there. It would be great to have a wider range of it for Puppy Linux. One of Poverties causes is lack of education, and one of puppies great strengths is its ability to make something useful out of otherwise worthless waste computers.

Perhaps I should go learn to compile....

I will test the .sfs . thanks for taking the initiative jrb. It sure would be nice to have have sound, but this is a good start.

Apologies for the delay, I have not been able to get online much this last week.

That is correct, it's just the gstreamer plugins that are needed to make the sound work (I do not know whether it is enough to simply add the plugins so whether gcompris needs to be compiled against them).

The SVG cheat does not seem to have any adverse effects. Gcompris only uses a handful for the theme anyway, most other images are pngs.

I have been a bit busy this last week so progress has been slow but I am currently testing to see exactly which dependencies need to be included and once done I will upload a fixed .sfs.

Gstreamer. I remember just using Gstreamer plugin base in 8.4, there are a couple more: bad and ugly, it was just the base needed

There are a few KDE educational apps, but i havnt tackled any of them. Apparently you need a lot of KDE dependencies. Once i have this 4.12 nailed and finished failing with Childsplay i will look into it. There is a KDE puppy or SFS out there.

Is gCompris looking for the libraries in a subfolder (/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/)?

Code:

/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libfsvideoanyrate.so

could this be why it isnt seeing/loading them and running with no sound?

To make this .sfs (more) complete, it could put a startup link in /root/my-applications/bin so that an icon could be dragged and dropped out of the right hand pop out tray in pWidgets to create a desktop shortcut....I think I MIGHT be able to do this myself though,,,maybe.....

Hi,
I made a sfs of gcompris 8.4.6 using pets from:
http://www.puppyrus.org/pub/%23users/kartograf/Gcompris/pet/
+ 2 extras, namely: Sdl 1.2.13 and gnucap 0.35 to find on this forum.
( thanks to puppyrus ).
